Good morning Ladies! Just wanted to write a quick update/testimony following up on my previous thread http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?t=404000 about the power of fasting and/or spending intimate, one-on-one time with the Lord. I haven't been on LHCF in a little bit more than a month b/c I had decided to fast again.
Things were a little shaky in my life when I started the fast (on November 8th to be exact) b/c I resigned from my job in October (due to stress) and my money was running out fast. So as you can guess my main expectation from this fast was a J-O-B! I was offered an interview during the fast with a job that paid much less than my minimum salary expectation. When I was told where the job was located (30 miles from my home), the Lord clearly told me, if you have faith and JUST WAIT, I will give you something much better, JUST WAIT. So that's exactly what I did...I did not attend the interview and I fasted and waited...fasted and waited....fasted and waited.
Mind you, during this time, HALF of what was being contributed to the rent money every month was no longer available (not b/c of my unemployment but other drama which the Lord was so GREAT to resolve as well), so eviction felt like it was around the corner. But by the grace of God, rent is now UP TO DATE & taken care of until February!
In regards to the job, I was still fasting and waiting...fasting and waiting... fasting and waiting. Fast forward to this morning, when I receive a job offer (which I accepted of course!) for a job that pays much much much (did I stress much enough?
) better than the job the Lord told me to forget about AND is ten miles closer AND has the same exact great career opportunities as the company I resigned from. Hallelujah, thank you Lord!!! I thought this was going to be a quick post, but I just had to give a complete testimony!
I'm telling you ladies, the importance of spending time with the Lord without any distractions so you can hear Him when He's telling you something is serious! I realize that the Lord is blessing me like this because he wants my testimonies to move people to make a change! If you're in dire need of a blessing & have not spent any time with the Lord, fasting will indeed clear your life of anything keeping you from getting your blessing. Sometimes, the Lord is trying to whisper a life-changing word in your ear, but if you have distractions floating around in your mind, you won't even hear it.
And for the ladies who are currently in prayer and/or fasting and waiting for their blessing,
Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
The faithful Lord renewed my strength & mounted up my wings. TRUST he will do the same for you.
I'm so sorry for the long novel! Have a great day everyone & be blessed!
